Ceaseless Cycle
Why is conception creating
and death destruction?
If one was to reverse this order of life
would it be obtuse or astute?
Reviewing descending order
will examine this construction,
looking further into the truth.
If life started just after death
born an old body and failing health.
As years retreated
old bones became more limber,
each day that passed to become stronger.
Year by year would go by
bringing youth and vigor never to die.
Then would come childhood then infancy
and finally back in the womb.
Then from here it comes full circle
back to the tomb.
Before conception and after death
brings us all to the same rest.
So we see our answer
to our initial question.
Death and conception
both creating and destruction.
The origin of life and death
spawning from the same mother.
An everlasting ceaseless cycle
like no other.
